Land Rover Defender (2020-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Combines utility and luxury	The three-door 90 has a tiny boot
Sophisticated and comfortable on the road	Expensive to buy and run
Superb to drive if you venture off-road	Land Rover's poor reputation for reliability might make you think twice

Quick Summary

The modern Land Rover Defender is a distinctive and desirable vehicle that combines unmistakable character with exceptional breadth of ability. Available in multiple body styles—the short-wheelbase 90, long-wheelbase 110, and spacious 130—it caters to diverse needs, from family transport to serious off-roading. The Defender 110 offers seven seats and 786 litres of boot space, whilst the 130 provides up to eight seats and an impressive 2,516 litres with seats folded. Engine options range from efficient diesel units delivering around 30mpg to a potent 4.4-litre V8 in the flagship Octa variant, producing 626bhp.

The Defender excels both on and off the road, featuring air suspension, locking differentials, and comprehensive Terrain Response modes for tackling challenging terrain. On-road, it's comfortable, quiet, and engaging to drive, with responsive steering and precise handling. Modern infotainment includes a 13.1-inch touchscreen across current models, with extensive customisation options available. However, ownership comes with premium running costs, including expensive servicing and high insurance premiums for V8 variants. Land Rover's broader reliability concerns warrant realistic expectations, though the Defender itself has performed respectably in its class.

Best for: Affluent buyers seeking a luxury off-roader with genuine capability, families needing spacious seating and practicality, and those who value distinctive character and versatility across multiple driving environments.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those prioritising low running costs, or buyers concerned about brand reliability records. The Defender 90's limited boot space also makes it unsuitable for those requiring maximum cargo capacity.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Defender if: You're seeking a luxury off-roader with genuine capability, need spacious seating and practicality, or value distinctive character and versatility across multiple driving environments.

Consider alternatives if: You're budget-conscious, prioritise low running costs, or have concerns about brand reliability records. The Defender 90's limited boot space also makes it unsuitable if you require maximum cargo capacity.

Competitive Position: The Land Rover Defender stands out as the strongest performer in the luxury off-road segment, earning the highest expert and user ratings amongst its rivals. It outperforms the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Toyota Land Cruiser, and Jeep Wrangler in overall CarGurus ratings, with the best percentage of good and great deals available. The Defender's combination of sophisticated on-road manners, genuine off-road capability, and versatile body styles gives it a clear advantage. Whilst premium running costs and reliability concerns are valid considerations, the Defender's distinctive character and breadth of ability make it the standout choice for those who can afford it.
